~ We Tried ~

We offered genuine friendship,
You manipulate and exploited it.

We gently put things into light,
You accused us of being bullies.

We remain neutral with open arms,
You continued to throw wild accusations.

We choose to be silent and indifferent,
Your ill-will only intensified against us.

We bring you no harm,
You bear to tear us apart.

We held our word with conviction,
Yet yours burns with anger.

We let go to be free again,
Yet your grip tightens with pain.

We continue to hope for the better,
Your heart will be released for peace.
